Sunderland 2 - Newcastle 1: Late Fabio Borini stunner earns derby bragging rights
FABIO BORINI'S late wonderstrike earned Sunderland the Tyne-Wear derby bragging rights.
Summer signing Borini cracked in a stunner six minutes from time to earn his side a 2-1 win.
Tim Krul got a hand on the Italian's fiercely-struck effort but he was powerless to stop it arrowing into the top corner.
The win was Gus Poyet's first as Sunderland boss - and their first of the season in the Premier League.
Steven Fletcher had earlier headed the Black Cats in front before Mathieu Debuchy struck a second-half leveller.
But Borini's late show clinched Sunderland the points and lifted them off the foot of the table.
